Reviews


80
The Hollywood Reporter - Todd McCarthy
Snappy, nasty, deftly acted and perhaps the fastest paced film ever directed by a 78-year-old, this adaptation of Yasmina Reza's award-winning play God of Carnage fully delivers the laughs and savagery of the stage piece.
80
Boxoffice Magazine - Unnamed
Relatively light-hearted for a Polanski film (no one dies), Carnage is fun verbal warfare cleanly filmed.
75
Slant Magazine - Ed Gonzalez
One doesn't have to look too closely at Carnage's final shot to marvel at the way Polanski refuses to haughtily indict his audience in the pettiness of his characters' behavior.
75
New York Post - Lou Lumenick
Fast, furious and often funny. But no blood is truly shed (except literally in a playground fight during the opening credits).
67
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Polanski struggles to make the material more cinematic, toying with clever mise-en-scene to showcase the mounting tensions. However, Carnage repeatedly suffers from an internal tension between the possibilities of two media at odds with each other.
